The World’s Best Knife Sharpener {Review & Giveaway}

In our house we have pink jobs and blue jobs, which basically translates as: if I feel like doing it, it’s a pink job (ie: me, the matriarch of the house, will get off her backside and do it) and if I don’t feel like doing it it’s a blue job (ie: I pass the buck over to The Husband).

Knife sharpening has always been a blue job in our household, until now.

Regular readers will be aware that I was recently sent the best knife ever – a Global Ni cook’s knife available exclusively in the UK from the Steamer Trading Cookshop.

Not a week later (thank you universe!) the world’s best knife sharpener landed in my postbox. Thank goodness too because although I’ve silently declared knife sharpening a blue job (I might have forgotten to tell The Husband) it does sadly get neglected, and my gorgeous Global Ni was going to end up sitting next to a row of dull kitchen knives on my magnetic knife strip, destined to only be sharpened when a friend of mine makes his six-monthly house visit for a cup of peppermint tea, spots my dull knives and sits there at my kitchen table, sipping tea and my sharpening knives.

No longer!

Knife sharpening has become a pink job!

This little gadget from Any Sharp really is a crackin’ little knife sharpener. Its Power Grip suction cup base firmly fixes to any flat surface, and three or four light pressure slides later you’ve got a super sharp knife again! There is no worry of slicing the end of your finger off, no worry that you’re using the wrong angle, simply slide though the tungsten carbide sharpening edges set at the optimum knife sharpening angle and sching! – sharp knife!

This knife sharpener will work on nearly every knife too – from bread knives to hunting knives and all your cooking knives.

Any Sharp also make a really nifty multi 5 in 1 scissors – which I put to test during a glamping weekend recently. With curved tempered steel blades and a comfortable (and wide enough to be left or right handed!) grip, this knife is a pleasure to use. It’s not just a pair of scissors though, it’s a bottle opener, a wire stripper, garlic crusher and nut cracker too!

These scissors now have a prime place on my kitchen tool rack.

The Any Sharp Knife Sharpeners retails at RRP £17.49 while the 5 in 1 scissors retail for £14.99

Thanks for sharing your review for both of those products. Concerning the knife sharpener, have you found that it still works well close to 2 years later? Are the carbide inserts still holding up? I’m interested to know…….Cheers!

I always sharpen the knives in my house but only because I’m the only one who uses them! I never get them sharp enough so I’d love to win this.Corina recently posted…Buttery Samphire with Garlic and Lemon

I confess I do leave my knives unsharpened and my Mum always told me I was less likely to cut MYSELF on a sharp knife. Now I’m at risk if cut (due to anti-coagulants) I have to be extra careful and heed my Mum!
They are impressive gizmos I would love to own.

Yes, I certainly done sharpen mine enough, sometimes it’s just a case of putting it off for a bit, and then of course procrastination always wins. The thing is, t is pretty silly really as it doesn’t take long and dull knives can be awkward to work with.

Yes I let them get dull, but then I am trying to do something that requires a sharp knife, like skinning fish, and I get really annoyed with my knives and myself and run them through my (rather antique!) sharpener. Could really do with a new one and this sounds brilliant, thanks for the giveaway. Afraid I cannot do the daily entries though, not using twitter.
